BUILDING EMERGENCY SYSTEMS

A. EMERGENCY EXITS

Emergency Exits are located at both the north, south, and west ends of the premises.

The west doors are the main entry doors to both spaces. There is one emergency exit in

the main lobby/waiting area that exits to 7th Avenue. Both the PFD and the CSSD spaces

are equipped with emergency exits that lead to the back hallway. There is an

immediate exit into the north alley at one end of the hallway, and another exit at the

very end of the hallway to the east. The CSSD offices also have an additional emergency

exit that opens onto 7th Avenue.

B. FIRE ALARM PULL STATIONS

Pull stations are located throughout the building close to the exits. In case of fire in or

near your suite, activate the nearest pull station, regardless of whether or not the alarm

signal is already sounding.

C. FIRE LIFE SAFETY SPEAKER SYSTEM

The building is equipped with a life safety speaker system capable of notifying all floors

simultaneously or individually. Special instructions may be broadcast throughout the

ceiling speaker system, audible in tenant suites, corridors, and elevators.

D. SPRINKLERS AND SMOKE DETECTORS

The building is fully equipped with numerous sprinklers and smoke detectors. Both of

these systems are automatically monitored so that, should either one be activated by

smoke or heat, the alarm signal will sound, and the fire department will be alerted.

E. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Fire extinguishers are located throughout the building. Extinguishers are intended for

use on small, controllable blazes. The extinguisher should be held upright with the

nozzle pointed at the base of the flames. Please do not attempt to fight fires unless you

can do so safely.

F. ELEVATORS

Elevators, although operational during an alarm, are not to be used for evacuation

purposes unless ordered to do so by the fire department. Please use the Emergency Exit

Stairs located in the southwest and northeast sections of each floor.

LINNY PACILLO PARKING GARAGE

LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES

From time to time, there may be cause to Lockdown the LPPG due to an emergency situation

posing a threat to the building or its occupants. The following procedures have been

implemented to provide an additional level of security for tenants and occupants of the

building during this type of event.

A lockdown will be initiated when there is a person/situation inside or outside of the building

that is a known or suspected threat. The lockdown will be coordinated through Building

Management.

Once the lockdown has been ordered, the procedures outlined below will be implemented:

1. Building Management will contact Security and Building Maintenance via radio. Building

Security will not permit anyone to pass beyond the guard station on into the elevator

lobby. They are not to lock the front doors unless instructed to do so by Building

Management.

2. Building Management will lock all entry doors and suite doors.

3. Building Management will then notify the entire building via the “Fire Life Safety

Speaker System”. Further directions will be given via the Speaker System or telephone.

4. It is important to remember the following during a Building Lockdown:

• Stay calm

• Stay away from doors and windows

• Get to a safe location, and stay low

• Do not attempt to leave your office or the building until an “All Clear” message is

instituted throughout the building

• Do not confront, argue with, or attempt to disarm any potential threat or

intruder on your own

• If you can safely get away from a threat without harm to yourself or others, do

so

• Await instructions from Emergency Personnel

5. Once a Department has been notified of lockdown, they will initiate their individual

internal procedures to inform their respective Divisions/employees. Every suite will

need to make sure all their suite doors that lead to common halls are closed and not

held open by a Magnetic Holder to prevent entry of any unknown persons.

Revised 8.12.15 19

6. Tenants will remain in lockdown until Building Management and/or the Anchorage

Police Department releases the building by using the “Fire Life Safety Speaker System”

and announcing “ALL CLEAR”. At that time, business can resume as normal.

Revised 8.12.15 20

SENIOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE COORDINATOR- SERC

The Senior Emergency Response Coordinator (SERC) is expected to be familiar with, and keep

contact with, all Emergency Response Coordinator’s (ERC) on their floor. If an ERC and his or

her alternate both report “out” to the SERC, it is the SERC’s responsibility to make sure

someone else in that suite knows where the “roll call” sheet is and takes the roll call. If the ERC

for any given floor is no longer working in the suite, it is the SERC’s responsibility to try to

recruit a new ERC. If unsuccessful, the SERC must call the Building Safety Coordinator (BSC), so

a new ERC can be assigned.

The SERC will coordinate and communicate with the members of the Buildings Emergency

Team and the Fire and Police Departments.

The SERC is responsible for emergency operations on his or her floor. As such, the SERC should

have a complete knowledge of the building’s Life Safety Systems and its emergency procedures.

It is highly recommended that the SERC be an individual with 1st Aid/CPR/AED training.

The SERC will be assigned a radio. The radio is to be kept fully charged and available for

emergency situations in which the building is to be evacuated. The radio is not to be used at

any other time or for other types of emergencies. The safekeeping of the radios is the

responsibility of the department in which they are checked out to. In the event of loss or

damage, the department will be responsible for replacement of the radio(s).

In the event of an evacuation, the SERC is responsible for

1. Turning on the radio and listening for pertinent instructions.

2. Making sure that all common areas such as break rooms and bathrooms have

been evacuated.

3. Meeting with ERC’s in the planned “meeting area”, and identify individuals not

accounted for during roll call.

4. Using their radio to call in to BSC any names of individuals not accounted for.

5. Once the suite is cleared, SERC should report that “The ____ Floor is clear to a

member of the Management Team or if the floor has an individual(s) requiring

assistance, the SERC shall also advise the Management Team ____ people are

located in the _____.”

Revised 8.12.15 21

EMERGENCY RESPONSE COORDINATOR- ERC

The Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) is responsible for actively informing suite

occupants and visitors of the LPPG emergency procedures. They are to participate in all

announced safety meetings, and assist in the safe evacuation of the building.

It is the responsibility of the ERC to maintain a database of the employees in his/her suite, or of

those employees in the area he/she is responsible for. This list must be updated as new

hires/fires happen. Updated lists should be forwarded to the SERC on your floor on a monthly

basis. This list is what will be used to perform roll call in the event of a building evacuation.

The ERC is responsible for and will implement an organized plan of evacuation from their suite.

The ERC will coordinate and communicate with the Senior Emergency Response Coordinator

(SERC), Management Team, Fire and Police Departments.

Each tenant shall designate a minimum of one employee per 25-30 employees as its ERC’s and

one/two employees as alternate ERC’s in case of illness or absence. In the event of a large

suite, more than one ERC is required.

The ERC is responsible for emergency operations in his or her tenant space. As such, the ERC

should have a complete knowledge of the buildings Life Safety Systems and its emergency

procedures. It is recommended that the ERC be an individual with First Aid/CPR/AED training.

It is the ERC’s responsibility to let their alternate know when they are expected to be gone. If

the alternate will also be absent the SERC must be informed.

In the event of an evacuation, the ERC is responsible for making sure that the suite has been

fully evacuated of all employees and the doors have been shut. If an individual requires

assistance or if an individual refuses to leave the building, please direct them to the east

stairwell landing where they will wait for assistance. Please remember to inform them not to

enter the stairwell landing until the stairwell is clear of people. The ERC shall advise the SERC

how many persons are left on the floor so the SERC can inform the Building Safety Coordinator

(BSC).
